What should I do if my unvaccinated cat scratched me?

On december 13/2024 i started my first dose of ARV and i completed my 4th dose on January 11/2025 again today on march 18/2025 my un vaccinated cat scratched me it was a small scratch with bleed what should i do

Answered on 21st Mar '25

It's understandable to feel concerned about a scratch from your cat, especially since it's unvaccinated. Usually, minor scratches may heal without complications, but there's a small risk of infection. Watch for signs like redness, swelling, increased pain, or pus in the area. Cleaning the wound gently with soap and water is crucial. Applying a sterile bandage can help protect it. Given your recent ARV treatment, I recommend consulting a physician. They can evaluate your situation and determine if any additional action is needed.

My rabies vaccine 2nd dose is complete. Can I share food with someone else?

Male | 29

The sharing of food with someone is no longer an issue. Rabies is a fatal virus that generally attacks the brain. It is imparted through the excrement of infected fauna. The vaccine will stimulate your immunity response as ensigning the virus transpires. Only observe certain signs like fever, headache, and muscle aches at vaccination, but your body is getting used to altered conditions.

On Tuesdays I have sharp pain in my right chest under my armpit 3 or 4 times in less than half an hour I am 13 years old 1.56m male and. 61 kg

Male | 13

This could be triggered by an injured muscle or a cold. Take deep breaths and relax for a few moments, avoiding tasks and movements that cause this pain. If the pain continues, you can apply wet cloths to the affected area in hot weather, or alternatively, you can visit your nearby doctor for consultation

Please consult a medical professional now, based on your symptoms. Swelling of the face may signify various medical conditions like infection, allergic reaction, or a reaction to medication. As a medical expert, I strongly advise you to consult a nephrologist immediately. They can find out the source of your symptoms and give you the required treatment.

On 4/3/2024 a little cat scratch me and I complete my vaccination (ARV) by 0,3,7,28 days shedule resently again another cat scratch me on 10/9/2024 and could not get blood may I take another vaccination? And and today's it's the 10th day the cat was still fine and the same cat was also scratch my granny on January 2024 and granny was completely fine and vaccinated, so what should I do doctor?

Female | 20

It was a good decision to get the rabies vaccination after the first cat scratch. Since the blood test was missed after the second scratch, it's recommended to get a second vaccination as a precaution. Even if the cat seems healthy, rabies can take time to show symptoms.

I used Vicks vapopatches that I bought from the store because I was having trouble breathing and right when I used one i immediately felt an on again off again cold sensation and then also burnning feeling and then back to cold in my chest followed by a Pulse fainting dramatically and hadn't gotten any better... Is THIS normal? If so how can I make it better? Or is it life threatening?

This is concerning. This could indicate an alle­rgic response. Discontinue using the­ patches immediately. If symptoms pe­rsist or worsen, seek me­dical attention promptly. To alleviate discomfort, try ge­ntly cleansing the affecte­d area with cool water and applying a mild, soothing lotion.

I have a swollen red hot arm after injecting

Female | 29

When your arm ge­ts red, swollen, and hot, it's likely re­acting to the injection. The inflammation happe­ns because your body see­s the injected substance­ as foreign. Infections could also bring such symptoms. Putting something cold on it and raising your arm may he­lp. But, if it remains the same, you ne­ed urgent medical care­.

I got scratched under my right foot by a random cat on 12/02/24 at approximate 5:10PM at the Masjid while praying. I immediately washed the affected area with soap for about 5 minutes. The cat didn't seem rabid (No hypersalivation, itching, photophobia or visible scar or bite mark). I took an anti titenus serum afterwards as a precaution. Do I need to take Rabivax? If so, why, how, where and when?

Male | 19

It is advised that you should see a doctor who deals in infectious diseases and also get tested. The doctor will decide on the next steps depending on the scratch severity, the location, and the overall health state. A doctor may recommend a rabies vaccine based on the case.

Yesterday at 8pm, l swallowed my tablets including pill, so after an hour one of the tablets appeared to be back and settled in my neck, l have drunk much water, ate yellow bananas but still it's on my neck, and when l try to swallow it, it moves a little bit and then comes back on my neck, up to now no change, what can l do, help me please.

Male | 18

Sometimes pills do not go down easily. To keep the problem from worsening, drink plenty of water and eat some soft foods like bananas at the beginning. Try to drink a bigger mouthful of water while you are holding your head a bit down from the tablet several times. In case the feeling still remains, or in the event of pain difficulty in breathing, or experiencing exacerbated sensations, you should seek medical aid.

My whole body aches, including my eyes my joints and my internals, I took muscle relaxers because I was told it should help (methocarbamol) and I'm also on birth control (Norethindrone)

Female | 20

Muscle relaxers like methocarbamol may help with muscle spasms but won't address the underlying issue. Birth control pills like Norethindrone typically don't cause widespread body aches. You must consult with your doctor to find out the causes of the pain, they may advice some tests or examination to check.
